THE BASE BALL MANAGERS
Vote Down the Percentage System d,

Vote Down the Percentage System De-
manded by Detroit
New YORK, Nov. 17.-It was about noon
to day before the delegates to the National
base ball league convention began proceed
ings. The discussion en- Detroit's demand
for a 5000 guarantee and thirty per cent.
provoked much bitter feeling. AS was ex-
pected the principal opposition came from
Boston and Philadelphia. When a vote was
taken it was found that the resolution had
been defeated. Then efforts for compro-
mise were made There was wide diversity
of opinion. President Day, who left the
meeting room for a moment, said New York
voted with Boston and Philadelphia, but he
favored compromise rather favorable to
Detroit
There was filed with President Young this
morning contract that William Gleason of
the st. Louis club signed last night with the
Philadelphia.
Umpire Doescher, who was blacklisted
last year, was reinstated to-day and at once
signed with the American association.
At the afternoon session a compromise was
effected in the percentage question by which
the guarantee was fixed at $3.50 or tW enty-
five per cent. of the gross receipts in lieu.
This is practically victory for Detroit and
will aid materially the weaker clubs. The
brotherhood puzzle was then taken up and
after long debate letter was sent to Ward
and his colleagues requesting them to appear
before the league and present their griev-
ances. This was a big backdown by the
league from its first stand. The convention
adjourned to $50 o'clock, at which hour the
brotherhood committee was admitted accom-
panied by their lawyer, J. F. Blackhurst.
The meeting was thrown open to the press.
The players demanded that a committee
be appointed to confer with them and after
short fight Rogers of Philadelphia, Spauld-
ing of Chicago and Day of New York were
appointed such a committee, and the con-
vention adjourned until morrow, subject
to the call of the chair to receive the report
of the committee. The two. committees met
Immediately after and had an hours talk.
/ The Indianapolis club tonight signed II.
L. Spence as manager for next season. He
has during the past two years successfully
handled the Portland club.

AN GNoURABLE TYPE OF CANCER.
Alarming Reports From San Reno of
she Crown Princes Aflment.

gHe crown princes A1Aments
LONDON, Nov. 17-Dispatches received
here from San Reno say there has been a
discharge of green matter from the Crown
Princes throat which proved to be cancerous.
In view of this fact his case is considered
much worse, as this kind of soft cancer is of
the most malignant tyne and is regarded as
incurable. The German doctors the reports
say, are trying to deny the serious, almost
critical, development of the Crown Princes
ailment, which is now clinically and patho-
logically clear.
The Emperor will send another specialist
to San Reno, although there is no change in
the Crown Princes condition. DIR. Macken
zie has sent communication to the press
with reference to Prof. Virchow's statements
before the Berlin Medical society. Dr. Mack
enzie admits he has not met Prof. Virchow
since his audience with the Crown Prince
and that he has had no communication what
ever with Prof. Virchow. He thought it
better to abstain from intercourse with the
professor during the period of the microsco-
pic examination. He knew Prof. Virchow
would not have been in the least Influenced
by the most minute description of the APP
pearances of the Princes larynx He had
never endeavored to force any responsibilities
on him except for his opinion on the portions
OF growth which had been removed. Prof
Virchow could not possibly determine the
condition of the tissues beneath the growth.
1t was rare for portions of such q growth to
be repeatedly removed without the detection
of a cancerous element, if such existed. The
three portions of the growth which had been
removed from the Princes throat afforded
negative evidence and there was strong hope
that cancer did not exist.

or fraudulently conveying away his property
for the purpose of defrauding or hinderine
his creditors and with the intention of leay1
ing the State. Mr.. Cowles has been in the
city for the past three days taking part in
the prosecution. Watson complained in
Justice Sweeney's court that Mr. Cowles had
committed perjury when he swore out the
attachment. Yesterday as Mr.. Cowles was
on his way to the Pennsylvania station in
tending to return to New York Constable

drunk, filing a lighted lamp with gaso-
line when the fluid came in contact with the
flame and an explosion followed. The burning
oil was scattered over the room and
reaching several other lamps a sec
ond and other explosions occurred.
In an instant the clothing of the men was in
flames They rushed into the street in the
widest alarm and created great excitement in
the neighborhood. Policemen and citizens
ran TO their aid and several were thrown in
to the street in the endeavor to tear their
burning clothing from their bodies. All
were badly burned about the face, hands and
bodies and were removed to the Jefferson
hospital in pitiable condition. The names
of the men were Henry Doo1ey, Charles Bat
ton, Patrick Clay, James Coyne, William
Smith, Patrick Maley, Patrick Thompson,
Michael Ward, John Colgan, Jerry Turner,
William Kaufesly, w. G. Vineyard, Andrew

For Using Violent and Seditious Lam
guase.

&uaSes
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Herr Most was ar
rested at noon to-day by Inspector Byrnes'
detectives. He was found in his Office at 1877
William street. and was taken to police head
quarters where he was locked up. Most was
indicted this morning by the grand jury.
The indictment charges him with using vio-
lent and seditious language at the Anarchist
meeting last Saturday night. Police officers
who were present at the meeting furnished
the testim ony on which he was indicted.
The Anarchist was arrested just as he was
sitting down to growler of beer in his
Office. He protested that he had done moth
ing to be arrested and his wild eyed compos-
itors screamed with rage. He was taken be-
fore District Attorney MARITIME and insisted
that he was being prosecuted by the min
ions of the law bounded on by the hirsiings
of capitalistic press. Then he was escorted
to police headquarters. He was almost
overcome with disgust as he entered Inspeo-
tor Byrnes office and spied on the wall
large picture of himself in the act of being
pulled from under bed in Lena Fischer's
room when arrested in 1886. The indict-
ment now, as then, is drawn in
cordance with section 451 of the
penal code. 1t charges a misdemeanor. In the
document the arch-Anarchisti is Characterized
as Hevil disposed and psrnicious person
and of most wicked and turbulent DISPOSE
ton. X < Wickedly and malic-
iously \ contriving to disturb the
public peace n and to excite the
good citizens of our State x to hatred
and contempt of the government and
make instructions 4 =" etc. Most will
be taken before Judge Corning tomorrow
morning. A motion will be made to have
him admitted to bail. Lawyer Howe, his
counsel, has been engaged to defend him. A
report that Most tried to kill himself when
arrested is upfounded,
In conversation with Inspector Byrnes
this afternoon Most said the execution of the
Chicago Anarchists was an outrage
He (Most had become imbued with
the anarchistic principles when
boy. He worked at bookbinding
and noticed that all the money went TO the
bosses. He believed that workingmen should
have things in their own hands and divide
the profits of their work. He did not believe
in marriage VOWS. Men and women should
be able to live together if they want to. He
said he might not encourage violence direct
ly, but if the workingmen could not have
what they wanted he would find no fault
with person using dynamite. It was non
sense to say that Lingg was. converted to
Anarchy by his (Most's) workings, for he was
an Anarchist in Germany. Most claims the
reports of his speech Saturday which appear
ed in the papers were false in every particu-
lar. There was conspiracy on the part of
